The University Seal
The Seal represents the Institutional culture of the university.
The different elements and the significance of each are as follows:
- The Balance Scale is the universal symbol of Justice. It represents the first academic program offering of the Liceo which was the College of Law and reflects the paradigm that justice and fairness is of paramount significance in interpersonal relationships within the University.
- The Open Book symbolizes the Book of Knowledge and our quest for it as well as the teaching-learning activity and all other such related activities which is the main concern of the University.
- The Roman numerals MCMLV indicate the University foundation year, 1955
- The two branches of the laurel leaves stand for victory to which every Licean must aspire to achieve in all the challenges that confront him.
- The Latin motto "Nil Sine Numine" translates to “Nothing Without the Divine Will” which motto was adopted by the University’s Founders subscribing to the Catholic tenet of Faith in Divine Providence

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or seal:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Has not yet begun
To make a seizure on the light,
Or to seal up the sun.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
